Assuming that you are referring to the "Jersey" upline spools popular
on the East coast, the true DIR solution is not to use this type of
device.  This has been beat to death on this list - search the archives
for reasons.  Suffice it to say that for carrying any large (long)
object, a good spot is on the rear crotch D ring, directly beneath the
tanks.  If your backplate has holes in the bottom, you can use these to
attach surgical tubing loops which you can put the object through, and
which will hold it tight to the bottom of the plate (underneath your
tanks and out of the way).  The object should be clipped off to the
rear crotch D ring in such a fashion as to enable you to free the
object from the surgical tubing loops (by touch), and then reach
through your legs to unclip it in a position where you can see it.
